Shopify Academy

Modern times call for modern solutions, and for many business owners that means e-commerce. With future uncertainty in the brick-and-mortar medium, businesses big and small alike are turning their efforts to the digital realm.  

As Shopify has grown into one of the most popular e-commerce platforms available,  the company has also put out a myriad of resources through the Shopify Academy. Simply put, Shopify Academy helps individuals navigate the ins and outs of the Shopify platform. Where to start though? Fortunately, we’re here to help. We decided to compile some useful information that might help kick-start your campaign.

How Does Shopify Work?

To start, let’s take a look at how Shopify is typically used. There are a number of features that set apart Shopify from their competition, including:

  • Unlimited number of products added
  • Two staff accounts
  • 24/7 staff support
  • Sales channels (other online channels and social media)
  • Manual order creation
  • Discount codes
  • Free SSL certificate (this keeps your website safe from malicious attacks)
  • Abandoned cart recovery
